A king-sized theropod coprolite [PDF]
Nature, 1998 Fossil faeces (coprolites) provide unique trophic perspectives on ancient ecosystems. Yet, although thousands of coprolites have been discovered, specimens that can be unequivocally attributed to carnivorous dinosaurs are almost unknown. A few fossil faeces have been ascribed to herbivorous dinosaurs1,2,3, but it is more difficult to identify ...

Echinostomes in Felid Coprolites from Brazil
Journal of Parasitology, 2016The first record of Echinostoma (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) in coprolites was from a mummified human body in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The finding raised questions on this parasite's incidence in prehistoric populations and the natural hosts of each species in remote times. Echinostomes occur worldwide and, despite the wide range of hosts, there is

Imaging coprolite taphonomy and preservation
Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2019 The impact of coprolite taphonomy on parasite remains and aDNA recovery has been recognized. In general, coprolites from sites protected by geologic features such as caves and rock shelters exhibit the best preservation. In contrast, coprolites from open sites can be badly affected by taphonomic processes as shown by analyses of parasite eggs. For eggs,

BIOMARKER SIGNATURES IN TRIASSIC COPROLITES
PALAIOS, 2019ABSTRACTCoprolites are traditionally analyzed from a morphological perspective. Few studies exist from an organic geochemical perspective, and most of these consider recent specimens. This study represents an analysis of coprolites from deep time, using both traditional one-dimensional and also two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Invertebrate coprolites and cololites revised
Papers in Palaeontology, 2020AbstractFossilized faeces (bromalites) are common in the geological record and have been recognized for centuries, first for their peculiarity and later for sedimentological and palaeontological analysis. Coprolites (the ejected faecal material) and cololites (faecal material preserved in the gut) may be morphologically and compositionally similar and ...

Physicochemical analysis of Permian coprolites from Brazil
Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2018In this paper we performed the study of two coprolites (fossilized feces) collected from the exposed levels of the Pedra de Fogo Formation, Parnaiba Sedimentary Basin, and Rio do Rasto Formation, Paraná Sedimentary Basin, both of the Palaeozoic era (Permian age).

Paleobiological implications of Campanian coprolites
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1998Abstract Vertebrate coprolites (153 samples) in association with vertebrate and plant remains in the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) sediments of the Cerro del Pueblo Formation, in southeastern Coahuila, Mexico, represent at least ten morphotypes, ranging from ca. 1 cm to 3 cm.

Carboniferous coprolites from Qinhuangdao, North China
Science China Earth Sciences, 2010Here we reported the coprolites that are preserved in the dark grey silty shale of the Carboniferous Benxi Formation from Shimenzhai, Qinhuangdao, North China. The coprolites occur in a sinusoidal and ribbon-like aggregate. A coprolite granule is sesame-shaped, roundish at the terminals, equidimensional and equimorphic.
